BISGUIT CUTTER.

Application filed October 31, 1921.

To all 20 7mm it may concern:

Be it known that l, CLARENCE DronsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Topeka and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Biscuit Cutters, of which the fol lowing is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to biscuit cutters, and the object is to provide a biscuit cutter which will out several biscuits at a time. Another object is to provide such a cutter in a form adapted to hold the cutting blades in elevated position and out of the dust when the implement is not in use.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation.

Figure 2 is an end elevation.

Figure 3 is a top view.

Figure 4L- is a bottom view of the cutter plate and attached cutters.

The invention consists of a suitable stand I. made up of a top plate 2 and pedestals 3. The pedestals have the vertical slots l, and a cutter plate 5 is slidingly mounted inside the pedestals 3, by means of lugs 6 extended from the cutter plate out through the slots 4. The biscuit cutters 7 are attached to a set of cross arms 8 and the cross arms are in turn detachably mounted on the cutter plate 5 by means of a set screw 9. A sleeve 10 is centrally mounted on the top plate 2, and within this is set a coil spring 11 of a length about twice that of the sleeve 10. Another sleeve 12 telescopes over the sleeve 10 and has a handle 13 at its upper end. Side arms 14L extend from the lower end of the sleeve Serial No. 511,600.

12 laterally outward and then vertically downward and are connected at their ends to the lugs 6. Thus by forcing the handle down, the cutters 7 are depressed, and the biscuits are cut. The normal action of the spring 11 is to return the cutters to their uppermost position. The cutters may be readily removed for cleaning by taking out understood that I may vary the same in minor details, not departing from the spirit of my invention as defined in the appended claim.

I claim:

A biscuit cutter comprising a top plate supported by side pedestals having vertical slots therein; a cutter plate reciprocatingly mounted below the top plate by means of lugs extended from the cutter plate out through the slots of the pedestals; cutters detachably mounted in the underside of the cutter plate; a sleeve centrally mounted on the top plate; a coil spring within the sleeve; another sleeve telescopically mounted over the first mentioned sleeve and having a handle; and side arms extended from the outer sleeve out and down and connected at their ends to the lugs extended from the cutter plate.

CLARENCE EDVVAR-D DICKSON.
